This paper sort to investigate the link between intellectual capital and growth in private tertiary hospitals in Rivers State. The Kregice & Morgan’s table provided us with a sample of 159 drawn from a population of 270 employees of ten (10) private hospitals within the study area. A hundred and fifty-five (155) copies of the study instrument were retrieved and analyzed with the help of the Rho statistical tool via SPSS (v.20) at a.05 significance level. Results revealed a substantial positive correlation amid intellectual capital and growth of private tertiary hospitals within Rivers State. It was thus recommended that administrators of private tertiary hospitals should create policies with human capital measurement and management, and develop various but suitable approaches to resolving issues connected with human capital in so as to enhance growth. Administrators of private tertiary hospitals should familiarize structural capital management technique and management should make efforts to organize workshops on structural capital and its role in the overall growth. Tertiary private hospitals through intellectual capital should increasingly enhance its key role in contributing to positive private health outcomes which will boost growth in Nigeria's gross domestic product, and bring about new opportunities for investment in and expansion of the private health sector.
